Use the fax features

Chapter 11

Turn ECM off only if it increases phone charges substantially, and you can accept poorer quality in exchange for reduced charges.

The following rules apply to ECM:

●If you turn ECM off, this applies only to faxes that you send. This does not apply to faxes that you receive.

●If you turn ECM off, set the Fax Speed to Medium. If the Fax Speed is set to Fast, the fax will automatically be sent with ECM on. For information on changing the Fax Speed, see Set the fax speed.

●If you send a fax in color, the fax will be sent with ECM on, regardless of the option currently set.

Set the fax speed

You can set the fax speed used to communicate between your HP all-in-one and other fax machines when sending and receiving faxes. The default fax speed is Fast.

If you use one of the following, setting the fax speed to a slower speed might be required:

●An Internet phone service

●A PBX system

●Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP)

●An integrated services digital network (ISDN) service

If you experience problems sending and receiving faxes, you might want to try setting the Fax Speed setting to Medium or Slow. The following table provides the available fax speed settings.
